John Abraham to lose 20kgs for “1911”
Come next year, brawny Bollywood actor John Abraham will be on a weight shedding spree. He says he has to lose at least 20 kg for his film “1911”.
During a media interaction for the promotion of his forthcoming entertainer “Welcome Back”, John was asked if he would be ready to lose his muscles for the sake of a role.
To that, he said: “Of course! In fact, by next October, I have to be 20 kg lighter for a film that I am doing. So, I will start weight shedding for it.” John later told IANS that the film is “1911”, a project he is producing. A Shoojit Sircar directorial, “1911” will revolve around football, a sport that John is passionate about and supports as the co-owner of a franchise in the Indian Super League.
“1911” will tell the story of late Indian footballer Sibdas Bhaduri, who captained Mohun Bagan in the historic 1911 IFA Shield final when they defeated the East Yorkshire Regiment to become the maiden Asian team to emerge victorious in the competition.
The actor-producer shared that Sircar is “not too happy” with certain things in the script, and is “tweaking” it a bit.
“It's a great script, but I can't say exactly when we will go on floors with it. It will be a good film,” said John, who has earlier produced films like “Vicky Donor” and “Madras Café”.
